The medical concubine is blessed with good fortune and her husband's life is prosperous. The mo

General Lu built the Dragon King Temple in Minzhou and eliminated evil, which was very gratifying to the people.

Of course, the truth of the matter could not be spread among ordinary people. In the eyes of the people of Minzhou, General Lu was worthy of his commoner origin and believed in the Dragon King just like them.

Because it was the female officials team brought back by General Lu, the female medical staff, who were already trusted by the people, became even more respected by the people. When the people heard that they were all under the rule of the Empress, they trusted the female officials much more than the officials.

The female officials took the trouble to visit towns and villages accompanied by the imperial guards and educate the people about the reasons for the frequent sea storms and rainstorms in coastal areas.

When the female officials went to the countryside, they would always provide welfare to the villagers, such as food, medicine, etc. In addition, the female officials all wore amulets bestowed by the Dragon King Temple, so even the ignorant people in the most remote villages would trust them.

Since General Lu came back, the previous customs in Minzhou have been swept away, with all kinds of evil witchcraft sacrifices, and people drinking talisman water instead of seeing a doctor when they are sick.

The government organized cleaning and other activities, but the people were unwilling to participate.

When the government does infrastructure work such as digging canals and building roads, the people will say that it will affect the feng shui of their villages and strongly oppose it, causing the infrastructure work to be hindered.

In short, the people did not trust officials before, and only trusted various gods. But now, with the Dragon King Dharma Assembly incident, those evil ways of collecting money and deceiving the people were all drowned in the sea by General Lu.

Of course, there were some fish that slipped through the net, but as the Dragon King Temple became the only true temple and female officials and medical staff arrived in the towns and villages, it was difficult for those evil forces to do anything.

As doctors developed effective medicines to treat the epidemic and provided free treatment to the infected people, the Queen's reputation in Minzhou became the most respected person besides the 'Dragon King'.

General Lu was very satisfied with his trip. He not only completed the task assigned by the Queen to kill the evildoers but also completely banned human sacrifices.

The most important thing is that he really contributed to his family. In his opinion, improving the infrastructure of his hometown, whether it is building roads and canals, or building docks and attracting wealthy businessmen to open workshops, is also good.

The measures used in Minzhou were only temporary solutions and did not address the root cause. Even the medical staff who tried to save lives could only save one person.

Only by making the people truly realize that the gods cannot save them and stop being bewitched by evil ways can Minzhou be truly saved.

The Emperor asked General Lu to write a memorial on the matter, and the Empress asked him to find a female official to write a detailed report together.

This is a successful example for officials in coastal state cities. See, no guns or artillery were used, no people were intimidated, no force was used to suppress, and no people were caused to panic.

Instead, he accomplished this difficult task with another flawless and open strategy.

Cult organizations among the people are hard to eradicate despite repeated bans. On the one hand, it is necessary to take drastic measures to crack down on cult members, but more importantly, it is necessary to make the people wise and aware of the dangers so that the cult can be eliminated.

After this incident, Ling Moxiao realized the importance of female officials and medical teams. He discussed with Dong Su that they would recruit twice as many people for the female official examination next year.

In addition, we should increase funding for the Medical College. Since Yu Dayu has been running the hospital in Jiangnan for so many years and has established a foundation, we should set up a branch in Jiangnan, which will be managed by Yu Dayu.

Dong Su naturally agreed. Although there were many students in Youzhou's medical college, it was just a drop in the bucket for Daxia.

Many counties and towns still have no medical stations due to the severe shortage of medical staff.

She could only be stationed in state capitals where epidemics frequently broke out. She believed that if every county and town in the world had a hospital, it would greatly reduce the infant mortality rate and increase life expectancy.

Ling Moxiao just issued an edict to praise General Lu. The court all knew that General Lu had returned home for vacation and had accomplished such a great thing that benefited the country and the people.

Soon after, I received a letter from Master Bai who went to Lingnan. Not only smallpox broke out in Lingnan, but also dysentery. Plague also appeared in one of the counties, and the county had been sealed off by the government.

In short, the plague situation in Lingnan is very serious. Master Bai only found out after he came to Lingnan that there have been occasional plague outbreaks in Lingnan in recent years.

However, for the sake of political achievements, the government will try its best to hide the truth, and will not report it as long as the news does not spread beyond three counties.

What made Master Bai even more angry was that most of the people in Lingnan were Baiyue people, and the Baiyue people hated the Han people because of language barriers and different customs.

The Baiyue people had almost no contact with the Han people. Under such circumstances, the government had an obligation to educate the people. However, the officials in Lingnan chose not to regard the Baiyue people as their own people at all.

Master Bai asked why the plague was not reported, and the official said as a matter of course: "Only a few Baiyue people died. Not many of our Han people were infected. Why should we report it?"

Master Bai told him that His Majesty had long said that everyone within the territory of Daxia was a citizen of Daxia.

In the northern border, even the herdsmen of the old northern border are regarded as his subjects by His Majesty. How dare you say that the Baiyue people are not the subjects of Daxia?

Master Bai said that most of the officials in Lingnan were demoted and just wanted to fool around for three years so that they could be transferred to other places to take up posts. None of them had the ambition to make progress.

It took half a year for Youzhou's decrees to reach Lingnan from the top to the counties.

Master Bai has suffered too much. She is just a doctor and does not want to complain about the officials. The only thing that makes her feel relieved is that the officials are quite cooperative with the doctors' work.

How can I not cooperate? The ones protecting the doctor are the imperial guards!

She has successfully isolated smallpox and the trial cowpox vaccine was very effective, but she still needs to see if there will be a recurrence in the future. She plans to stay in Lingnan for three years.

In addition, she herself was vaccinated against cowpox and had direct contact with smallpox patients for treatment.

It is also because of her fearless spirit that the officials admire her so much that they fully cooperate with her work.

Another good news is that the formula of warming wine to extract artemisinin given by the Empress has also yielded results after two years of research. It is very effective in treating dysentery.

At present, dysentery and smallpox in Lingnan are under control, except for the plague, which has killed all the people in that county.

The government sealed off the county, dug mass graves, and cremated all the infected bodies.

The only thing she found out was that there was a lack of food in the area, and snakes, rats, and insects were the locals' food, and plague was common...

The letter was so depressing that the availability of specific medicines to treat smallpox and dysentery seemed less gratifying.

Master Bai never cared about false reputation. She was happy that the court supported her and gave her many honors, because that would help her spread medicine more widely, recruit disciples to practice medicine, and save more people.

After arriving in Lingnan, what she saw was a hell on earth with frequent plagues. She had no mood to think about her successful research on the cowpox vaccine and the specific medicine for dysentery.

After reading the letter, Dong Su felt as heavy-hearted as Master Bai. For a moment, her original job almost defeated her current job.

She didn't care about anything else and went to Lingnan to fight the plague with Master Bai.

Ling Moxiao was much calmer. As the emperor, he knew the current situation in Lingnan better than anyone else.

Since the establishment of Daxia, Lingnan has always been a place of exile. Officials were demoted and most of the local Han people were exiled.

The Baiyue people were the original inhabitants of Lingnan and hated the Han people. They mostly lived in clans and did not obey the Han people's political orders.

Of course, officials didn't want to care about them, as long as they didn't gather together to cause trouble and didn't collude with small countries like Jiaozhi.

Unlike the previous emperor, Ling Moxiao witnessed with his own eyes how Youzhou, a border city, developed into the first state in the north and is now the capital.

As for the prosperity of maritime commerce, as long as the imperial court no longer bans maritime trade, Daxia is destined to build more seaports and the coastal cities are destined to develop vigorously.

Therefore, even though Lingnan is still a smoky and polluted place today, one day in the future, the seaport of Lingnan will become the largest seaport in the entire Nanyang.

The national treasury has been abundant in recent years, and the three small island countries on the sea have been pacified. All that is left is for General Xie of Liangzhou to pacify the barbarians. Ling Moxiao is then ready to devote all his efforts to developing southward.

Especially after he saw Dong Su's big map, he knew that the islands in the South China Sea would sooner or later be part of the territory of Daxia.

But the premise of all this is that the plague in Lingnan can be brought under control.

Now the Medical College has developed specific medicines for smallpox and dysentery, which can not only cure the plague in Lingnan.

It also means that the epidemics that have plagued the Han people for thousands of years can be brought under control.

From now on, the imperial court will no longer be afraid of an epidemic that causes the deaths of countless people.

Epidemics do not discriminate between places or people. Even in the capital, epidemics often break out, and the emperor's family will die if they are infected with epidemics.

As for the plague mentioned in Master Bai's letter, which killed an entire county, Ling Moxiao believed that if the Medical College was given time, with the help of Dong Su and Master Bai, they would be able to develop an effective medicine one day.

And now, he has to build a Medicine King Temple for Master Bai as agreed, and write a book and biography about him so that his reputation will last forever.

At the same time, the Medical College will be elevated to the same status as the Imperial Medical Office, and will thrive with the country. From today on, the Medical College will exist as long as the Great Xia nation lasts.

Of course, Ling Moxiao believes that once the Medical College opens more branches and hospitals are opened in all state capitals, female medical staff will be stationed in counties and towns.

Even if the Ling royal family of Da Xia is replaced by someone else one day, it will not affect the Medical College.

When the imperial edict reached the capital, all officials were immediately delighted that the Medical College had brought the plague to bear in Lingnan and had developed an effective medicine.

He also lamented that even though His Majesty was on a southern tour, he did not forget to increase their workload.

The Medical College is on an equal footing with the Imperial Medical Office, which means that funding will be needed from the Ministry of Revenue in the future, and it can no longer come from the Empress’s private treasury.

Judging from your majesty's plan, when an epidemic breaks out, medical expenses will be exempted for the people. In addition, I heard that the vaccine can be taken in advance to prevent certain epidemics.

If this medicine were also free, the money spent by the medical school that year would be an astronomical figure!

The officials of the Ministry of Revenue did not dare to do the math, as they felt like crying when they did.

Nowadays, thanks to maritime merchants, the national treasury is richer than ever before, but the expenses are also high!

A navy and a Mo Men Military Workshop are like gold-eating beasts. No matter how much gold or silver is filled in, it is never enough.

Now with the addition of a medical college, the Ministry of Revenue suddenly felt that it was necessary to please the Empress. Allocating some money from the Empress's private treasury would greatly ease the pressure on the Ministry of Revenue.

However, Dong Su and his party only stayed in Yizhou for two nights, and so many things happened.

She had a feeling that this southern tour would never be peaceful.

She originally didn't want to pay attention to the land reform system, but had to issue an imperial decree to the female officials, asking them to secretly find out which local gentry were dissatisfied with the land reform system.

She had to take precautions in advance. If the opposition in a certain state capital was too great, she would simply not bring the children in.

Perhaps the news of Ling Moxiao's iron-fisted treatment of the Chen family spread too quickly, and he never encountered a situation like the Chen family in any of the provincial cities he passed through along the way.

However, according to the secret letter from the female official, she found that many nobles hurried to pay their taxes and hand over their land upon hearing that His Majesty's convoy was about to pass through the border.

No more excuses and try your best to cooperate with the government.

We will strive to submit a perfect answer when Your Majesty arrives in the state capital.

Dong Su was now truly certain that the nobles would no longer have the ability to resist imperial power.

The nobles were well aware that in the face of artillery, all military force became cannon fodder.

The goal that the previous emperor had failed to achieve in his entire life was accomplished by Ling Moxiao within a few years of ascending the throne.

From now on, the monarch will achieve an unprecedented level of centralization.

But perhaps because the journey was too tiring, and Dongsu was always worried about the children, she was not able to do what she had imagined before setting out on the journey.

Whenever he arrived at a provincial capital, he would take Dabao and Xiaobao to visit the local scenery, see how the female officials and subordinates were performing, and then visit the people to understand their conditions.

The idea is good, but the reality is that it is very tiring to sit on the road and do nothing.

Whenever she arrived at the palace, she didn't want to do anything.

Only the local female officials, the director of the hospital, the president of the college, the managers of the Momen and the Chamber of Commerce, and others were allowed to come to the palace for a meeting.

Report on the progress of the task at hand, and then listen to their report on the local situation.

What made her envious was that Dabao and Xiaobao were always in good spirits. Not only were they able to complete their homework on time, but every time they went to a new place, it was like going on an adventure, with endless energy.

Ling Moxiao was the same. Whenever he arrived at the palace, he would call a meeting of local officials.

He also had to review memorials sent urgently from Youzhou, read the secret reports of the Inspector General, and check the conditions of rivers, official roads, and farmland.

In the evening, Dong Su asked him curiously, "Your Majesty, aren't you tired?"

Ling Moxiao chuckled and said that the speed of this journey was completely incomparable to the expedition to the Northern Frontier back then.

He did not feel tired at all, and he was very happy to be able to leave the capital and visit various provincial capitals to see the country and its people.

Dong Su said enviously: "It seems that your Ling family has good genes."

After Ling Moxiao found that she was very tired, he would take Dabao with him to discuss matters during the day, and would also take Dabao with him when he went out to inspect the palace.

It was not until they switched to the water route that Dong Su felt like traveling and enjoying the water. She did not get seasick, and the water route was very calm at this time of year, without strong winds or waves.

Since Sanbao changed to the water route, he has been sleeping more every day. She was worried that the baby might get seasick, but she found that the child slept soundly and ate well.

When she woke up, she had fun playing with her brothers and sisters. It seemed that she inherited this trait and also liked taking a boat ride.

It was the first time for Dabao and Xiaobao to travel by boat, and they were very excited. They never got tired of the scenery along the way, and Ling Moxiao even took them to the bow to watch the fishing.

The journey became faster after taking the boat. If you didn't need to receive memorials or meet local officials along the way, you wouldn't have to stop and could go directly to Chang'an.

If they stop during the journey, they will not stay in a palace, but directly on the ship. This luxury cruise ship is a palace.

Dong Su also had the energy to take a look around the local areas. They were all the provincial capitals that she had passed through when she went from Guangzhou to Youzhou that year, but the situation had changed drastically.

The official roads that were bumpy in the past have now been repaired to be wide and solid, and are equipped with street lights.
